EMG5691 vs EMG5693 — Compare

EMG HX Active Single Coil Pickup in White vs EMG 91 6-String Active Bass Pickup in White

I cannot complete this comparison because Product B appears to be incorrectly specified — the EMG 91 is a guitar pickup, not a 6-string bass pickup. Please verify the exact model number (such as EMG P6 or J6 for 6-string bass) so I can provide an accurate, honest comparison.

No sales tax on orders shipped outside California — total cost beats national retailers that charge sales tax in nearly every state.

Frequently asked questions

Why can't you compare these two pickups?

Product B is listed as 'EMG 91 6-String Active Bass Pickup,' but the EMG 91 is a jazz guitar pickup, not a bass pickup. EMG makes 6-string bass models under different designations (P6, J6, etc.). The specification appears incorrect.

What should I do next?

Verify the exact model number printed on Product B's pickup, packaging, or original invoice. Confirm whether it is a guitar or bass model. Once corrected, an accurate side-by-side comparison can be provided.

Is Product A suitable for bass?

The EMG HX is designed for guitars and is described for studio sessions, home recording, gigging, and extended-range instruments — not bass.
